Brian Wilson v Stephen Slug it Out: Trouble at Green Party NI Mill

Alan in Belfast has written up an excellent precis of the Green Party conference, held today.

First of the comments is from the past leader (Brian Wilson) laying into the present leader (Stephen Agnew) complaining that his own role is being airbrushed out of the history of Green politics in NI. Let battle commence....

On a more substantive note, the party has selected its MEP candidate: Ross Brown. A former HM Treasury Economist, he is an articulate candidate.

Listening to his Audioboo...Ross Brown was very critical of the DUP. He said the Green Party believes that the NI Executive needs to raise more revenue via tax. He attacked the Alliance as the same - economically - as the DUP.

He pointed out that Greens are the only Assemly party that opposed cuts in corpo tax. (Maybe TUV too, I am not sure). He claimed that all the Assembly parties are the same on economic terms - apart from the Greens.

He saw the Greens as being a more progressive party than the others. A sense of compassion. A concern for the vulnerable. For animal rights.
